《Never Bring Sword Into a Gun Fight》Another companion
Advertisement
Another man that look like a merchant approaching us from a road with that shallow river.
[Heyy!! Yeah! Are you also going to Dasi?] Andreas
[I hope not. But I need to pass it to go to Romora town.] Merchant
Hmm.. So after Dasi village is this Romora town?
[Ohh. Lucky.. Look like we have a mercenarie in our grup. But are you though? I don't see your weapon and your armor is too lax.] Merchant
For reference, I only use a white clothe and this rugged trouser. But compared to this two man, I do have quite a better build and taller body, so maybe that's why he immediately thought that I'm a mercenaries.
[Umm.. Indeed I'm. My name's Dean, nice to meet you.] me
[And I'm Andreas, a bard.] Andreas
[My name's is Val, a merchant. Nice to meet you.] Val
Is it a custom here to include your occupation when introducing your self?
[By the way, he's a magician val and seem to be not that long he became a mercenaries. That's why he doesn't have an armor yet.] Andreas
Wait? Why did you covering me here?
Oh well. I guest it's better to just repeat that embarrassing alibi every time I meet someone.
[Ohh I understand. It's rare to find a magician mercenaries going solo, so i suggest you find a party on the next town Dean.] Val
[Thank you for your concern.] Me
[So have you been waiting long? There isn't much people using this road.
What do you both suggest? We already have a mercenaries in our side and I get an info that it isn't a really a bandit that waiting there.] Val
[Hmm. You might be right. I think it's also safer to proceed now rather than waiting any longer and end up going in dark. What do you thing Dean?] Andreas

[I don't really mind. But how about the attacker?] Dean
[If it's not bandit then it probably a wild animal like bear or something. With a surprise from magic, I think we can deter it.] Andreas
Hmm. But my magic is just a copper and lead going super fast though.
Also this is only sub-sonic round that I got here. It's not like it won't penetrate a bear hide, but don't think it have enough stopping power to stop a charging bear. I also think it's actually better to shoot the air and scare it with the sound rather than making it more angry.
Yosh. Let's just go with that or in the last resort I'll try to hit the head even though it'll tough.
I summon my holster using my drawstring bag. I'll summon my 1911 via my holster later to not cause commotion.
[Okay then, I'm ready.] Me
[[Yosh. Let's go!]]
